As summer draws to a close, the world’s leading artists are hitting their stride. This week, releases have poured in from Doja Cat, Laufey, Sombr and Stray Kids — now, Billboard invites you to vote for your top pick.
Leading the charge, the California rapper Doja Cat unveils “Jealous Type,” the electrifying lead single from her eagerly awaited album Vie. Dropping more than a month before the full project, the track fuses vibrant ’80s pop motifs with her trademark rapid-fire delivery, offering a tantalizing glimpse of her next chapter beyond Scarlet.
Though Doja Cat’s album is still weeks away, several artists released complete albums this week. Laufey showcased her refined pop sensibilities on her third studio effort, A Matter of Time. TikTok breakout Sombr debuted his inaugural full-length, featuring the Hot 100 hits “Back to Friends” and “Undressed,” on Friday, August 22. Meanwhile, hip-hop aficionados were treated to BigXThaPlug’s I Hope You’re Happy, Kid Cudi’s Free and Offset’s Kiari. Additionally, K-pop trailblazers Stray Kids presented Karma, and Sacramento rock legends Deftones delivered their album private music.
With so much fresh music to explore, Billboard is eager to hear which release resonates with you most. Cast your vote below to select your favorite.
